Practical Illustration of Text: Customized Search, View Selection, and Annotation

Abstract

This poster presents concepts to support authors illustrating their texts. We introduce a system which smoothly integrates the search and adaptation of appropriate illustrations into target documents. It enables the author to search for images and 3D models. To effectively support the context of the document, the view and label layout of the retrieved 3D models can be semi-automatically adjusted. Further on, we explicitly store the label layout in conjunction with the adapted illustrations. Since this information reflects the semantic and pragmatic content of illustrations, it eases the retrieval, reuse, and adaptation of illustrations in multimedia databases.
